FR-S vs evo.....
 

So to anyone who thinks the fr-s will never be fast enough to be a truly "fast car", I just watched some vids on youtube that are gaining rapid popularity... just search Evo 10 vs FRS... there is a guy who has a turbo FR-S with 265 whp and he's walking evos... from a dig of course the evos have the advantage but at about 60 where weight becomes a factor... the FR-S steams by. a Must-watch!!!!

I think that vid is of a vendor on this forum.

Hi everyone...I gave my 2700lbs RWD car 300HP and now I'm beating stock 3500 lbs AWD cars in a strait line...cool story bro.

I trollz.

Isn't that video of the FA20club turbo car?

Via my Note 2

I take it that is a stock Evo? Anyone know whp for a stock Evo?

I think it is impressive, but one can always make the argument that the Evo could easily be made faster as well.

It always comes down to "you can make anything faster". Everything I can do to my 2.0L 4 banger BRZ, a corvette can do to it's 7.0L v8 and make more.

An evo 8/9 makes about 215-220 awhp stock, an evo X makes 225-240 awhp stock.

It's really just a benchmark because the evo is one of those care that are considered fast as fuck.

I totally agree. And it is really impressive, especially if you buy an FR-S for about $25K. You can just about get there for $30K or so.

yea not really impressive.... and I definitely do not consider a stock evo a fast car. Its a quick car at best.

I'm a fan of both cars. I actually have an evo myself. it all depends how much you want to put in it. My Evo is quick but I wouldn't consider it a monster yet.

I guess it is all relative as to what you consider fast or quick. For someone who drove a Prius, the Evo would be a monster :) For someone coming from a Mustang GT... Not so much..

True but what I'm really trying to get at is that throwing a turbo kit on a stock 200hp 2700lb car to beat a stock Evo is not impressive at all.

I don't see why the op didn't post a video along with his post

I daily drive a 2007 Mustang GT and I've been driving our FRS to shows a lot recently. The FRS is a much more comfortable car, even on Tein Coilovers, but the straight line speed and highway passing is laughable at best.

That said, I love the FRS and always have a blast when I get the chance to drive it. It's such a fun little car, I can't even imagine how awesome it'll be if we turbo'ed it.....lol I bet a FRS/BRZ with 300+ HP would be a beast at a track day. I still drool over the Crawford Performance video with Matt Farah Driving the 450HP BRZ :drool:

i owned a evo X mr a few years back and stock WHP was under 230. it is amazing how fast a FR-S/BRZ gets with some power under the hood. i would say the only draw back is the cost, because for as much as it costs to get the FR-S/BRZ to that power level you put that in the evo and it becomes a monster. I had about 4500$ in my old evo X MR and it put down 320whp/312wtq and was a monster on the street, even with the weight. But its still awesome to see these cars with as bad a wrap it gets about straight line acceleration put a hurting on cars that "Should" beat it in a straight line.
